Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a sun hat with improved sunshine blocking effect and air ventilation, making it more comfortable for users. The hat has a brim portion with a peak portion that provided more shade areas to block sunshine from shining user's face and neck, while the brim portion is extended rearwards from the peak portion with a gradually increasing size to well block the sunshine without restraining user's visual sight. This structure is ergonomic in design. The invention also provides the peak portion in addition to the brim portion, thereby showing the users the correct wearing direction to improve practicality.

Problems solved by technology

However, such a design tends to make the sun cloth 12 stay on wearer's neck that makes the wearer feel muggy and uncomfortable.
All these create a lot of annoyances to the wearer.
However, the flexible wire 23 is located only at the circumference of the brim portion 22, hence does not have adequate holding forces after bending.

Abstract

A sun hat includes a hat body which has a crown portion, a peak portion extended forwards from the bottom of the crown portion and an annular brim portion extended rearwards from two sides of the peak portion. The brim portion is embedded with at least one flexible wire set by stitching. The sun hat thus formed not only can block sunshine, the brim portion also can be flipped upwards in a set profile through the flexible wire embedded inside, hence provides improved air ventilation to enhance comfort and usability.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a hat and particularly to a sun hat.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There are numerous types of hats on the market. Most of them are used to block sunshine. Some earlier hats have a peak portion extended in the front to form the so-called peaked caps to prevent sunshine from directly shining on wearer's face. Such a peaked cap still exposes wearer's neck to the sunshine. To remedy this drawback, another type of sun hat 1 has been developed as shown in FIG. 1. It has a hat body 1 and a sun cloth 12 extended from the rim thereof to improve sunshine blocking effect. Many people wear such hats during outdoor activities, such as playing golf, strolling or mountain hiking. However, such a design tends to make the sun cloth 12 stay on wearer's neck that makes the wearer feel muggy and uncomfortable. Moreover, when the wearer lower the head, the sun cloth 12 swings forwards and blocks the visual sight at two sides of the eyes. Al...
